I don't know if I'm crying or laughing 😂
hey uhhh but fr the concept of fallen angels existing but risen demons being an impossibility is kind of a great summary of sin in christianity
Saw this on Pinterest and didn’t want to risk it especially now that’s my grandpa’s in the hospital
Doing my part to promote this masterpiece of looniness!
Go see The Day the Earth Blew Up in theaters if you are able to.
(also pre-order the blu-ray while you're at it)
The appalling travesty that was BBC’s Sherlock has infested the Sherlock Holmes fandom like a malignant tumour so I want you all to know how awesome the OG literary Holmes was:
The literary Sherlock Holmes was an autistic coded character before people knew what autism was.
The literary Sherlock Holmes was an explicitly aromantic character before people had a word for that.
Literary Holmes solved mysteries not merely for the intellectual stimulation but also out of a genuine desire to do good. He cared deeply about every client. HE WAS NOT A HIGH-FUNCTIONING SOCIOPATH! He could definitely be insensitive and blunt but he was not callous or unfeeling.
Literary Sherlock threatened to beat a guy who was being creepy with his own stepdaughter.
Literary Sherlock learned to grow past his misogyny after a woman outsmarted him.
In particular, he was always respectful to Mrs Hudson, never belittling or talking down to her (the otherwise enjoyable Guy Ritchie films screw this up too). In fact, they got along so well that they were actually a very popular ship back in the day.
Literary Holmes would NEVER call Watson an idiot. He was his only friend who he loved and respected, even if he did get frustrated with him sometimes. He didn’t need to belittle others to feel powerful.
Literary Holmes and Watson broke into a corrupt man’s house and witnessed him being murdered by a woman he was blackmailing. They knew exactly who she was but they let her get away because they were chaotic good like that.
Literary Holmes had HUMILITY: something a smug prig like Steven Moffat will never understand. He could be arrogant but he had a sense of humour and was willing to admit when he was wrong. And he was wrong sometimes because he was a flawed human being, not some gross male power fantasy.
Literary Holmes respected the working class and was often disdainful of the rich. In Victorian England!
Literary Holmes indirectly caused the death of a guy who abused (and implicitly molested) his daughters and he didn’t give a single fuck about it.
At the end of the series, Holmes retires to Sussex to keep bees. Beekeepers are awesome.
Lets not forget this very day!
So let's talk about what it's like to be in animation these days. Or really any art related field.
Either no one wants to pay you a dime. Or they want what you have so they make you sign your ownership of that thing away. You get to make it, but its not yours anymore. Then they change things as your making it until it's not even what you set out to do in the first place. You lose sleep and weight trying to meet their unreasonable deadlines. Neglecting yourself and your relationships along the way. And when it's finally done. Finally ready. They cut it off short. Cancel it prematurely. And then they have the AUDACITY the wipe away the remainder. To just say "you know what we don't want it anymore". And it's gone. It's all gone. And you don't even have a copy.
This is so fucking evil
I’m genuinely concerned that I’ll have no real way to tell when it’s safe for me to start doing things again, because the CDC basically told everyone to get fucked and die, I’m surrounded by people taking the, “eh, if I get covid, I get covid” approach, and I can’t fucking tell what’s a reasonable safety precaution anymore.
I’m exhausted all the time, and I’m still scared of getting sick, but the world is moving on without me, and I’m just so disoriented, y'all.
I would say you could be somewhere better than here, but I don’t have much room to talk
